"Hello! I would like to make a reservation for my brother birthday celebration.
We will be a group of 14 people.
However, I do not speak Japanese and I’m unsure how to make the reservation or where to send a message.
Could you please help or guide me on how to proceed?
Thank you very much in advance!"
